The podcast host asked Flowers when she last spoke with Kroll and she shared, “We have mutual friends that have this sick place in the Bahamas and he and I both got them in the divorce. So they invited us both on this trip with like a group of people. And we both went. I took the guy I’m seeing and he took his new girlfriend and we were able to put our bulls*** aside.”
“We’re around these adults and people who don’t give a s*** about the ‘Charm’ drama so we were in the Bahamas together. This was 2 weeks ago,” she added. She also told Viall that she feels completely moved on from Kroll although she still has a “soft spot for the friendship.”
